Lolly Rosewood is 16 years old and she is on the run. She has arrived in London, penniless, alone and – worse still – she has lost her fearsome superpowers.
She is being hunted by the police and the Security Service, MI5. She has no friends and very few people who would want to help her.
Lolly needs money and a place to lie low, while she formulates a plan to rescue Sir Michael Rosewood, her father, who is being held prisoner by the British Government at a secret location.
There is one person who may just agree to help Lolly. An old friend of her father. However, time is running out because the Security Service are hot on her trail...
This is a short story in the Class Heroes series. Never read a Class Heroes book before? Doesn't matter. This is a self-contained short story about one of the principal characters, Lolly Rosewood. Lolly has special abilities. She has enhanced physical strength and the ability to control fire. Except, right now, she has nothing but a price on her head. How will she survive?
Note regarding content: There are some, non-gratuitious, sexual references in the story and adult themes. Not suitable for readers aged under 15.

From the Author
When I finished book 2, What Happened in Witches Wood, I began work on the next book in the series (London Belongs to the Alchemist). Lolly Rosewood had been a main character in the first two books of the series, but she hadn't been a point-of-view character. We had seen her in action, but we didn't know what made her tick. She's a pyschopath, right? Who knows what makes her tick?
But she's a 16-year-old girl! What the heck happened to her to make her the way she is? What else is she capable of?
As I was writing London Belongs to the Alchemist, I came to really enjoy writing for Lolly. It was fascinating to give readers an insight into the head of this baddest of bad girls. Did she have a conscience? How does she perceive her place in the world? Is she capable of forming a relationship with anyone other than her father, Sir Michael Rosewood? We were all teenagers once, and we've all had our fair share of relationship difficulties, but Lolly is an extreme. It's clear she has an attachment to James Blake, but could it become anything more?
After I'd finished London Belongs to the Alchemist, I realized there was a large gap in time where a whole bunch of stuff must have happened to Lolly. She'd spent nearly a year on her own. What was she doing? How did she cope? I thought it would be fun to write a short story -- a novella -- which filled in that gap. I wanted to write a first-person narrative that was purely about Lolly. I wanted readers to get to know her, and thus Where's Lolly? was born.
I wanted the book to be free, and so I also needed it to be a standalone story, so that anybody who was tempted to download and read it could do so without having to have any knowledge of the other books in the series.
So here you are. A free young adult book, and a free superhero novel (or novella) rolled into one. I hope you enjoy it. The 'hero' of this book is actually the villain. But then there are always shades of grey.

Store description
We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book. We are a company who put our customers at the centre of everything we do as we understand the importance of reading because once you learn to read, you will forever be free. There are a whole lot of things in this world of ours that we are yet to explore, which is why we will forever inspire curious minds.…
